Louis Armstrong's Basin Street Blues captures the All Stars doing what they did best, entertaining a live crowd, on a clear vinyl pressing drawn from 1956 and 1957 performances.

By the mid-1950s Armstrong was a global ambassador for jazz, touring relentlessly with a polished small group that could swing hard and play to the room in the same breath. This edition of the All Stars featured trombonist Trummy Young, clarinettist Edmond Hall, pianist Billy Kyle, bassist Dale Jones and drummer Barrett Deems, and the Young and Hall front line gave the band a bold, brassy character all its own.

The set unfolds like a classic Armstrong show. When It's Sleepy Time Down South, his longtime theme, eases in on that famous warm gravel, before Indiana kicks the tempo up the way it opened so many of his concerts. The title track is a slow-burning New Orleans showcase, his trumpet ringing out over a loose, rolling groove, and Tiger Rag launches the second side as a high-speed romp.

More crowd favourites follow, and the joy in the room is obvious throughout. It is a lively, generous snapshot of Satchmo on stage at the height of his touring years, and the clear vinyl gives these vintage performances a fresh new look on the shelf.
